Thanks for hunting this Chris! Hey product hunt family! Cynthia and I will watch this page for any questions about the book. We're passionate about shedding light on the harmful ways we design our products. From dark patterns to more serious issues, we all have room to grow as we understand how what we make effects people's lives.

Description:
Bad design is everywhere, and its cost is much higher than we think. In this thought-provoking book, authors Jonathan Shariat and Cynthia Savard Saucier explain how poorly designed products can anger, sadden, exclude, and even kill people who use them. The designers responsible certainly didn’t intend harm, so what can you do to avoid making similar mistakes?Tragic Design examines real case studies that show how certain design choices adversely affected users, and includes in-depth interviews with authorities in the design industry. Pick up this book and learn how you can be an agent of change in the design community and at your company.
